LOCAL IMPACT... EVERY CASE COUNTS

Sysco customers who choose Sysco Brand products are supporting Nourishing Neighbors and helping to fi ght hunger in the communities where they live and work.

A portion of the proceeds from each Sysco Brand case sold in our local communities is donated to local charitable organizations. At least 75% of those donations go toward charities that help feed people.

NATIONAL REACH

All Sysco’s U.S. and Canada Broadline sites partner with local hunger relief organizations. With dozens of locations across North America, Nourishing Neighbors can signifi cantly impact the fi ght against hunger.

It’s estimated that one in three seniors and one in six children are food insecure – which means they don’t know where their next meal will come from. We’re going to do something about that.

Join us in the fi ght against hunger! Together, we can make a diff erence, one person and one meal at a time.
